I was once one of them—now I live to serve them. Springs of Smiles is a dream come true.”

CEO, Founder
Springs of Smiles Ministry (SSM) is a fully registered nonprofit and non-governmental organization based in Kiryokya Village, Mityana District, Uganda. Founded in 2015 by Sebaggala Hassan, an orphan who overcame deep childhood hardship, SSM is dedicated to transforming the lives of orphaned children.
With a heart rooted in faith and compassion, we provide shelter, education, nutritious meals, healthcare, clothing, spiritual guidance, and emotional support to over 300 orphaned children under our care today.
We provide a loving and secure environment for orphans , where they can live without fear and feel a sense of belonging.
From primary to secondary school, we fund tuition fees, uniforms, and school supplies to ensure every child has the tools to build a better future.
Children receive nutritious meals daily and access to regular medical care, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being.
We nurture children through biblical teachings, prayer, and Christian fellowship, building character, purpose, and faith.
Whether big or small, your support makes a lasting impact in the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children. Here are simple ways you can make a difference today:
Give a child the gift of education, shelter, and hope. Your monthly support changes lives.
Every shilling counts. Help us provide food, school supplies, clothing, and medical care.
Offer your time, skills, or network. Join us in creating lasting impact.
From a small mud-built classroom to a thriving school, our journey has been one of faith, resilience, and miracles.
In 2018, with help from generous U.S. donors Richard Phillips and Alice , we built brick classrooms, stocked the school, and raised the quality of life for every child. Sadly, both donors passed away from COVID-19, leaving a huge gap in our support.
Even during crises—like the pandemic and political neglect—we have stood strong, serving more children than ever, now numbering to 300.
But today, we face a critical threat:
After Hassan’s grandmother passed away, her family demanded $60,000 USD in annual rent or eviction from the land. They are threatening to demolish the orphanage, school and the orphanage garden.
We are now seeking to purchase permanent land—so these children can have a future that no one can take away.
